A Brief History

The Nottingham Arms is the only pub to survive on the eastern side of the High Street. The 1891 and 1903 licensing records refer to the Nottingham House. The Nottingham Arms, first licensed in 1869, was one of the few local pubs tied to Bayliss & Merrell, who brewed by St Johns Bridge.

The Nottingham Arms is reputedly haunted. When Kieren and Theresa McCormack took over the pub in the late 1990’s there was poltergeist activity. Theresa said: “Things were moving about all over the place, and there were lots of unexplained noises.

The strangest thing was that all the clocks and our watches kept stopping at exactly the same time.” After a while, however, the paranormal activity quietened.

It remains something of a mystery why the pub is called the Nottingham Arms.
